Liverpool will begin their mission to win the Club World Cup for the first time against Monterrey.
The scheduling of the semi-final clash has drawn the wrath of Jurgen Klopp as it comes just a day after their Carabao Cup quarter-final with Aston Villa.
This has forced the reigning Champions League winners to utilise two different squads for the two matches with their big-hitters travelling to Qatar for this one.

Where and when is it?
The match will take place on Wednesday 18 December at the Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar.
What time is kick-off?
The action will get underway at 5.30pm (Irish time).
What channel is it on?
The match will be broadcast live on BBC 2 with their coverage beginning at 5.15pm.

Klopp urges FIFA to reschedule Club World Cup
“I speak constantly about this kind of competition. We are here so, for us, it is the most important competition in the world. But can it be bigger? I don’t know.
“From the organisation points of view they have to get around the table and talk, because otherwise FIFA say we’ll have a tournament, and UEFA say so will we, and then South America too.
“And they all think their tournament is most important. So it’s not so easy. In the summer, yes, it is nice. But you cannot then have all the other tournaments. You cannot just add on tournaments. They won’t like this but it is my opinion and I think all day about football.”
